Apprisia is a leading SAP NetWeaver BPM Service Provider for business process automation. We have been working closely with our customers in Pharmaceuticals, Banking, Cement, Chemical and Automotive for process simplification on SAP BPM platform.

Business processes are vital to your business. Efficient processes even more so. These business processes define how your business users conduct sales, purchase, negotiate, pay, plan, produce, make, deliver and service your customers and suppliers.
The business processes have interactions with:
- Systems (SAP, planning, warehouse management…)
- People internal to the company (field sales, marketing, pricing, contracts, planner, buyer …)
- People external to the company (customers, distributors, vendors, contractors, logistic parties, service technician…)
The business processes generate large amount of documents and printed paperwork.
With the additional legal requirement of compliance, and to improve service levels, it is important to make these processes efficient, transparent and easier on the business users.
At Apprisia, we have been working closely with the business users on the ground, and automating their daily tasks. The resulting systems are easy to use, and resemble their familiar tasks.
